Made of 100% post-consumer waste, this paper weed mat is chemical-free and can be tilled right into the soil at season's end. Ideal for use in the vegetable garden, it can be cut to fit around your plants and helps retain soil moisture as well as keep weeds down. Not intended for use in paths.

With use of garden pins the mat stays in place I've been using this for years, this year I planted squash in a raised bed using it for the first time for squash and I have the nicest squash, clean (I know you can have to much squash!!) and no weeding under those prickly huge leaves !

Not only is this the best weed barrier I've ever used, love to be able to till it into the soil, but when I couldn't find it in the catalog and called, the customer service rep was helpful, efficient, gave me shipping options and a couple days later, sooner than expected, it showed up. Great product, great company. Thanks.

Not easily rolled out and blows around if slightly windy. Need to hold down with 2x4s because the pins or hooks tear thru.Not great for vegetable gardens. better used under mulch.

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Wanted to use this on my tomatoes to block weeds and hopefully prevent the blight from ground spores. But this product blew away the next day in a rain storm. I did use the staples to hold it down as recommended, but that didn't help. I was very disappointed in this product. I bought it because it had been highly rated on your website. I really want my money back. This did not work at all! The only good thing is that my plants didn't blow away with the paper.

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

I hate weeds in my garden, but I also don't like trying the hay and newspaper solution that others use. I have a large garden, and this weed mat is just perfect. It lasts all season long. It looks neat and clean. And it is completely effective at preventing weeds.

The recycled kraft paper and garden staples have reduced the labor required for keeping weeds down by 80-90 percent. At the end of the season I just till the remaining paper back into the soil to break-down over the Winter. I just bought four more rolls for 2015 veggie garden.

I put it on the bottom of my raised bed to kill the grass. Added top soil and planted. used news paper in the past this was so much easyier this fall I will till it in. It's pretty thick dont think any grass is going thru it.

I USED THIS FOR FIRST TIME AND I LOVE IT. NO HOEING, IT WORK WONDERFUL, I'M ORDERING MORE FOR NEXT YEARS GARDEN. I PLANTED GROUND THAT HAD NOT BEEN PLANTED IN SEVERAL YEARS WITH LOTS OF GRASS AND WEEDS. IT'S STILL WORKING KEEP GRASS AND WEEDS OUT.
